  • El Paso Electric Company, Montana Power Station
    Statement of Basis Draft Greenhouse Gas Prevention of Significant Deterioration Preconstruction Permit for the El Paso Electric Company, Montana Power Station Permit Number: PSD-TX-1290-GHG September 2013 This document serves as the statement of basis for the above-referenced draft permit, as required by 40 CFR 124.7. This document sets forth the legal and factual basis for the draft permit conditions and provides references to the statutory or regulatory provisions, including provisions under 40 CFR 52.21, that would apply if the permit is finalized. This document is intended for use by all parties interested in the permit. I. Executive Summary On April 20, 2012, El Paso Electric Company (EPEC) submitted to EPA Region 6 a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit application for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from its proposed Montana Power Station. The Montana Power Station is to be a new 400 MW (nominal) electric power plant in El Paso County, Texas including four General Electric (GE) natural gas-fired turbines (Model LMS100) and associated equipment, including cooling towers, a firewater pump engine, ammonia storage tanks and unloading system, circuit breakers and a diesel storage tank. In connection with the same proposed project, EPEC submitted a PSD permit application for non-GHG pollutants to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on April 20, 2012. The draft permit, if finalized as proposed, would authorize GHG emissions from the four turbines, firewater pump engine, circuit breakers, maintenance, startup and shut down emissions and fugitive leak emissions. The remaining units are not considered to be potential GHG emission sources.

Our 2020 Market Leader Award winners demonstrate a high level of commitment to making ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments available to American consumers. EPA proudly recognizes El Paso Electric as an ENERGY STAR partner,” said Jonathan Passe, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Residential Branch at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Each year, the ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction program presents Market Leader Awards to outstanding partners who have made important contributions to energy efficient construction and environmental protection by building or verifying a significant number of ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments, or by sponsoring a local program that supported these activities during the previous year. With a baseline of at least 50 homes needed to meet ENERGY STAR standards, EPE was able to contribute to 400 ENERGY STAR certified homes in 2019 through EPE’s energy efficiency programs. This effort is equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by 584 metric tons, growing 9,680 tree seedlings for 10 years, avoiding the consumption of 1,360 barrels of oil, or removing 126 vehicles from the roads.

  • El Paso Electric Texas Appliance Recycling Program New $70 Rebate for Limited Time Only
    Media Contact: Javier C. Camacho Public Relations Specialist El Paso Electric Company C: 915.487.4753 PRESS RELEASE: March 8, 2021 [email protected] El Paso Electric Texas Appliance Recycling Program New $70 rebate for limited time only EL PASO, Texas – Through March 31, El Paso Electric (EPE) Texas residential customers can take advantage of the opportunity to recycle their old refrigerator or freezer and earn $70 while doing so through the Utility’s Texas Appliance Recycling Program. Plus, your appliance will be picked up safely at your home. You can get an extra $20 for recycling these appliances during the month of March! While EPE’s Texas Appliance Recycling Program normally offers $50 to residential customers, the promotional $70 rebate is for a limited time and will expire at the end of March. “Whether our Texas residential customers have an old inefficient fridge or freezer or they are considering buying a new one, now is the time to take advantage of this special opportunity because of the short and long term benefits,” said EPE Energy Efficiency Supervisor Araceli Perea. “Not only will customers receive $70 for recycling their old fridge or freezer, but they will also save on energy costs as older appliances use more energy and are more harmful to the environment.” EPE works with ARCA Recycling to safely remove the appliances while following all COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The process to take advantage of this opportunity is easy: • EPE customers must reside in Texas. • Refrigerators and freezers must be regular household size and in working order, empty, clean and plugged in at time of pickup at a residential home.
